The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

"Father, Mother, Xuan'er also wants to go..."

In the Yangxin Palace, Chu Mingxuan muttered to himself.

He has been saying this almost since he was a child.

Fifteen years passed in a flash.

Chu Mingxuan is now seventeen years old, and he has been sitting on the throne for fifteen years.

After the hunting trip fifteen years ago, the late emperor was frightened in the royal hunting grounds and fell ill after returning to the palace.

My father mobilized all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital and invited countless famous doctors from the public, but there was still no improvement.

A month later, the late emperor passed away. The whole country of Great Chu was in mourning, and no one was allowed to get married for three months.

A country cannot live without a ruler for a day.

After the funeral of the late emperor, Chu Mingxuan, who was only two years old, sat on the supreme dragon throne with the support of all civil and military ministers in the court.

My father refused the honor of being the retired emperor and hired a tutor for himself. He would only enter the palace when attending court.

After becoming the emperor, Chu Mingxuan naturally had to live in the palace, accompanied by his grandmother and many palace maids and eunuchs.

Two-year-old Chu Mingxuan thought that his father and mother wanted to train him to be independent from a young age and let him become a lonely person.

He soon realized that was not the case at all.

It’s because my mother is pregnant and my father has to be by her side, so he has no free time.

The following year, his mother gave birth to his first sister. His father named her Chu Yanjun and conferred the title of Princess An Ning on her.

Two years later, my mother became pregnant again, and this time she gave birth to my younger brother.

The father named him Chu Minglang, and in his joy, he directly named him King Heng.

My father and mother would often come to the palace to see me.

The mother did not love her eldest son less just because he had younger brothers and sisters.

Whenever there is something delicious or fun, she will find it for herself and touch his head and talk to him.

"Xuan'er, father and mother love you!"

Chu Mingxuan smiled happily and silently said in his heart: "Xuan'er loves you too!"

It’s just that due to palace rules, as an emperor, I have to be careful with my words.

I can’t speak freely and clearly express what I think like my mother.

While my father was assisting me, he gradually handed over the power in his hands to me.

Including all of my father's confidants.

Only then did Chu Mingxuan realize how powerful his father was.

The several generals guarding the border were all my father's subordinates in his early years. They are loyal to my father even more than to the imperial power.

The same is true for the harem and the former dynasty.

The more Chu Mingxuan learned, the more he realized that his father had been in control of everything for many years. He didn't sit on the throne just because he didn't want to.

Prince Ning, who works for his father, has inherited the title because of his outstanding achievements.

He became the new Duke, and the title was hereditary for five generations.

He found many people with extraordinary abilities for his father.

These people helped the Great Chu Dynasty do many great things that benefited the country and the people.

And my father, no matter how busy he was, would wait outside the ladies' club until my mother had had enough fun and returned to Prince Sheng's Mansion together.

Time never stops.

As Chu Mingxuan grew up, he developed a very deep relationship with his sister and brother.

My younger sister Chu Yanjun is lively and mischievous.

She is the most beloved daughter of her father, who says that her temperament and appearance are very similar to her mother's.

His younger brother Chu Minglang is smart and studious, and is full of admiration for his elder brother.

Maybe he admired me for not staying in the warm Prince Sheng's Mansion, but living in this lonely and extremely noble imperial palace!

When Chu Mingxuan was ten years old, his mother gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, whom his father named Chu Mingyao and Chu Mingxuan respectively.

Chu Mingyao is delicate and pretty, very lovable, while Chu Mingxuan is chubby and strong, quite heroic.

As the younger brothers and sisters grew up, the palace was filled with laughter and joy.

During every festive occasion, the family would gather together at a palace banquet, enjoying warmth and harmony.

Three years ago, when my mother was 29 years old, my father put aside all his affairs and stayed by her side every day, asking about her well-being.

When my mother went to the ladies' club to reunite with the ladies, my father sat in the carriage the whole time, waiting quietly for her to come out.

My mother had no choice but to reduce her visits to the ladies' club.

Go travel with your father.

Under my father's many years of governance, the Great Chu Dynasty enjoyed good weather and no one stole anything on the roads.

My father and mother took my younger brothers and sisters and their loyal guards to travel around.

Chu Mingxuan always said this every time they were about to start another journey.

"Father, Mother, Xuan'er also wants to go..."

At such times, his mother would come over, hold his hand, and speak softly.

"Xuan'er, when Heaven bestows a great responsibility upon a man, it must first make his heart and mind suffer, and his muscles and bones work hard.

You are the emperor, you must hold on to this vast empire.

Only when the country is stable can your mother and your brothers and sisters enjoy this wonderful life."

Chu Mingxuan didn't know if he had been brainwashed by his mother. Looking at his mother's beautiful smile, he felt that this was how it should be.

Who told me to be born earlier than my younger brothers and sisters?

Just like taking over power from his father, he naturally had to take over the task of taking care of his mother and younger brothers and sisters.

Compared with my mother, my father seemed more serious and profound.

"Xuan'er, your mother is right. Your father has entrusted you with the heavy responsibility of this country and its people. I hope you will not let him down."

Chu Mingxuan wanted to say, in fact, you, father, are more qualified than Xuan'er.

but---

My father has turned around and held my mother's hand, with deep affection in his eyes.

"Keke, I heard there's a March 3rd festival in the south. I'd like to take you there to see it."

Then, they walked away lovingly.

In the blink of an eye, his tutor Li Yueze walked in.

Chu Mingxuan, the wise emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, his achievements are like bright stars, illuminating the long history of the Great Chu.

Under his governance, the country prospered, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the world was peaceful, and all nations came to pay tribute.
